Bestselling author Andrew Joseph White returns with another horrific YA thriller: a profound portrait of a struggling teen trying to convince the world—and himself—that he''s better than the serial killer who raised him.

Morgan Slaughter, a seventeen-year-old trans boy with autism, put his serial killer father in prison years ago. Despite that, everyone thinks Morgan will grow up to be just like his dad: including his volatile mother, the documentary crew following their family, and maybe himself.

Desperately, Morgan latches onto his father''s final victim—the only one who was never identified—hoping that if he unravels the mystery, he''ll finally prove he''s better than the man who hurt him. But this puts Morgan in the crosshairs of classmate Felicity Keating, who knows the truth about Morgan''s childhood—that he wasn''t just a witness to his father''s brutality, he was an accomplice. And if he doesn''t let them help with his investigation? They''ll tell everyone.

Forced to confront his past, Morgan''s ugly but carefully controlled world unravels. The film crew is manipulative. His mother''s temper spirals into malice, then violence. And Morgan and Felicity may be more tightly intertwined than either of them can stomach . . .

You''re No Better is a gritty and unapologetic coming-of-age suspense about teens who grew up surrounded by cruelty and are clawing their way to adulthood the only way they know how.
